Drug pushers use photo of Amy Winehouse to sell cocaine

Reuters reports that photographs of Amy Winehouse are being used as a form of marketing by Brazilian drug pushers. Several hundred bags of cocaine labeled with a photograph of the late singer and the words "Amy House" were confiscated from a dealer in the Mandela slum of Rio de Janeiro.

"Since there is so much information in the media that she was a drug user, the traffickers have taken advantage of this" to market their cocaine, Lieutenant Colonel Glaucio Moreira told local media, according to an AFP report.
